OpenTelemetry and Dynatrace

OpenTelemetry is an open standard that enables applications to create and manage telemetry data and share it with a backend (such as Dynatrace) for further analysis.

For that purpose, OpenTelemetry defines a set of protocols, interfaces, and record types that provide telemetry data in a generic and vendor-agnostic manner across platforms, languages, and technologies. On top of defining the framework fundamentals, OpenTelemetry also provides SDKs, libraries, and instrumentation tooling for a wide array of popular languages.
